Ideas? PowCords for deHavilland GM70 SETamps


My system is about as complete as I could want it. Some tell me Power cords make a huge difference. Hopefully someone with experience w/ S.E.T. amp could lend me a hand. These are 50 watters. They currently are using Zu Mother power cables to a Sound Application Power Conditioner. Source is APL 3910 (tube output) CDP direct to them. Zindak Gold speaker cables and Green Mountain Continuum 3 speakers.
Thanks in advance, Tom

I have had great success with Purist Audio Design Venustas power cords on the dh amps in one system and in a defferent system, I prefer the Nordost Vishnu - go figure! It would be best to give them both a listen if you can.
You could try the Foundation Research LC2 power cords with in-line conditioning. I've used them on my Wavelength Tritions and they sound very good. I also like the Elrod Signature series, but they're serious money...
Howard,
Thanks! It's funny you say that about direct to wall. Thant is what George said at deHavilland. He said they thought conditioners sometimes took away from music. Steve (smilin) also told me to consentrate on P.C. for APL 3910.
Thanks for your comments.

I will do some research on your suggestions. Thankis

We have the APL 3910 as well, Tom. The Electraglide PC's work beautifully on source equipment. We're running a Mini Khan Plus, and might try the Ultra Khan or Epiphany at some point. The Michael Wolff cords are excellent as well, though not quite as open sounding as the EG in our system.

Oddly, with our SET amps, the only conditioner-like component that has worked well is the Aural Thrills Power Box. Can be had for around $100 used/on auction, and our SET amps sound a bit more relaxed and airy when run through that box. Our 50W triodes are running directly into the wall. We've tried perhaps five other conditioners, as well as the PS Audio P-300, and found every one of them to smooth over the music. Try direct to the wall and please post your thoughts once you've had some time with that configuration.
Regards,
Howard
I've had good results with Audience Power Chords on my Antique Sound Labs 1009-DT 845 monos (60w/ch).

That said, I recently switched to Silent Source power cords and couldn't be happier. They present a quieter background than the Audience cords. Also, there's more air and definition in the mids and highs. These aren't huge changes, but they are noticeable when you compare the Audience and Silent Source side by side.

6ft Audience cables are approx. $250 here on A'gon. 6ft Silent Source cables are approx $375.

Two great power cords, two different prices. Hope this helps.
